The number of Shidu parents in China is significant and expected to continue increasing. The psychological status of Shidu parents deserves more attention.
Our objective is to investigate the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder and attachment styles among Shidu parents on post-traumatic growth, with the aim of providing valuable insights for alleviating post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms and enhancing levels of post-traumatic growth following trauma.
Demographic data, the Revised Adult Attachment Scale, the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5, and the post traumatic growth inventory were used to investigated 297 Shidu parents.
Two samples -test was employed to evaluate disparities in post-traumatic growth inventory scores based on post-traumatic stress disorder and diverse attachment styles. Pearson's correlation analysis was used to investigate the association between Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 scores and post-traumatic growth inventory scores, as well as the association between different attachment styles and post-traumatic growth inventory scores. We performed multiple mediator analyses to further confirm the influence of post-traumatic stress disorder and attachment styles on post-traumatic growth inventory.
(1) A total of 35% of the people tested positive for post-traumatic stress disorder; (2) A total of 56.9% of the participants exhibited secure attachment, while 43.1% exhibited insecure attachment; (3) The results unveiled a substantial negative correlation between the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 scores and the post traumatic growth inventory scores; (4) A significant positive correlation was evident in relation to attachment dependence/closeness and post-traumatic growth inventory, while a significant negative correlation was established between attachment anxiety and post-traumatic growth inventory.
Our study suggests that post-traumatic growth inventory is associated with post-traumatic stress disorder and attachment styles in Shidu parents. It might offer new insights into influencing levels of post-traumatic growth through post-traumatic stress disorder intervention.
中国失独父母数量可观且预计持续增加。失独父母的心理状况值得更多关注。
本研究旨在探讨失独父母创伤后应激障碍及依恋风格对创伤后成长的影响，为缓解创伤后应激障碍症状及提升创伤后成长水平提供有价值的见解。
采用人口统计学数据、成人依恋量表修订版、《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第5版创伤后应激障碍检查表及创伤后成长问卷对297名失独父母进行调查。
采用两样本t检验评估基于创伤后应激障碍及不同依恋风格的创伤后成长问卷得分差异。采用Pearson相关分析探究《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第5版创伤后应激障碍检查表得分与创伤后成长问卷得分之间的关联，以及不同依恋风格与创伤后成长问卷得分之间的关联。进行多重中介分析以进一步确认创伤后应激障碍及依恋风格对创伤后成长问卷的影响。
（1）共35%的受测者创伤后应激障碍检测呈阳性；（2）共56.9%的参与者表现出安全型依恋，43.1%表现出不安全型依恋；（3）结果显示《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第5版创伤后应激障碍检查表得分与创伤后成长问卷得分之间存在显著负相关；（4）依恋依赖/亲密与创伤后成长问卷之间存在显著正相关，而依恋焦虑与创伤后成长问卷之间存在显著负相关。
本研究表明，失独父母的创伤后成长问卷得分与创伤后应激障碍及依恋风格相关。通过创伤后应激障碍干预影响创伤后成长水平可能会提供新的见解。
